rij Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 doing the fork seals on my evo anyone know the weight of the standard oil? im about to use pj1 05 Hi I think most people use 5w some people dabble with 10w if they are a bit on the heavy side!

liviob Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I think the manual says Bardahl or Bel-Ray 5wt. All 5wts are not the same. They all have a different centistoke value even if the bottle says 5wt. Use this chart to get an oil thats close to the oem oil. http://www.pvdwiki.c...uspension_Fluid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liviob Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Try this link. This chart will take most of the guess work out of suspension tuning. I found approxamatly 1 1/2 to 2 centistokes change equals one click adjustment on japanese forks. http://www.pvdwiki.com/index.php?title=Suspension_Fluid Edited January 6, 2011 by Liviob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
